Biography
Born on November 25, 1833, came from noblemen of the Irkutsk province .
He was educated in the Oryol Bakhtin cadet corps and the Noble Regiment , from which he was released on August 7, 1851 into the military service as an ensign in the Life Guards Volyn Regiment , in which he spent a significant part of his service, and in 1854 he received the rank of second lieutenant and December 4 - lieutenant ; he subsequently received the rank of headquarters captain (August 30, 1857), captain (April 7, 1862) and colonel (April 4, 1865). In the regiment Razgildeev two and a half years commanded a company and almost two years - a battalion.
The fighting activity of Razgildeev at that time was quite limited. So during the Crimean War , when the landing of the Anglo-French troops in Estonia and near St. Petersburg was expected, he was part of the troops assigned to protect the coast of the Baltic Sea . In 1863-1864, he was part of the Warsaw Military District troops and several times participated in cases against Polish rebels , for distinction he received his first order of sv. Anne of the 3rd degree.
On April 24, 1867, Razgildeev was given command of the 55th Infantry Reserve Battalion and at the same time was awarded the Order of St. Stanislav of the 2nd degree, and on September 7, 1870 he was appointed commander of the 20th Infantry Galician Regiment , with whom in 1877 he performed at the Danube Theater of Military Operations against Turkey . During his peaceful service at the head of the Galician regiment, Razgildeev was awarded the orders of St. Anne of the 2nd degree (in 1872), St. Vladimir 4th degree (in 1875) and St. Vladimir 3rd degree (in 1876).
During the Russian-Turkish war, Razgildeev brilliantly proved himself during many battles.
Leading the Galician regiment, he distinguished himself in the capture of Nikopol . On July 3, when the Galitsky attacked Nikopol, the regiment strengthened the chain of shooters and, after a brief quick fire on the enemy, who sat in the rubble, six hundred paces from the chain of Russian troops, led by Colonel Razgildeev, shouting “cheers,” he rushed forward in a completely open area, fired by the strongest enemy gun fire. The Turks could not withstand the onslaught and began to quickly retreat to their fortifications. For this case, July 6, 1877 Razgildeev was awarded the Order of St. George 4th degree.
Then he participated in two assaults on Plevna , in which he alone survived and survived from the four commanders of the regiments of the 5th Infantry Division, and for the distinctions shown to him, was promoted to major general on August 3 with the appointment of the 2nd Brigade commander Infantry Division, under the command of Major General His Majesty's Suite Prince Imeretinsky . Commanding this brigade, during an attack on a redoubt near Lovchi on August 22, Razgildeev was wounded in the leg, but did not leave the system and continued to lead his troops. Largely due to his art and foresight, the losses in his brigade were relatively smaller in relation to the losses in other detachments that stormed the Lovchi fortifications. For this matter, on December 13 he received a golden saber with the inscription "For courage . "
On September 10, Razgildeev left the position of brigade commander behind his wounds and left for treatment in the rear. On January 5, 1878, he returned to the army, was at the headquarters of the commander in chief, and on March 2 he was appointed commander of the 1st brigade of the 32nd infantry division, in which position he held until the withdrawal of Russian troops from Bulgaria . For differences during the campaign, Razgildeev also had the Order of St. Stanislav 1st degree with swords (1878) and St. Annes of the 1st degree (1879).
On December 1, 1879, Razgildeev was appointed Kamenetz-Podolsky provincial military commander, and on March 8, 1880 he was transferred to the same position in the Kiev province . September 24, 1881 he was appointed head of the 14th local brigade, August 30, 1886 promoted to lieutenant general, May 8, 1887 received the position of head of the 8th Infantry Division . Razgildeev commanded this division for a little over three years and on September 18, 1890 was appointed commander of the 3rd Guards Infantry Division , in 1898 he was promoted to general from infantry.
On August 9, 1894, Razgildeev was given command of the 13th Army Corps . Among other awards Razgildeev had the Order of St. Vladimir of the 2nd degree (1883) and the White Eagle (1894).
